CALPIRG Staff

Austin Price joined CALPIRG as our Heath Care Associate in August 2010. In that role, Austin is working to ensure that health care laws help to lower costs, expand access to coverage, and protect consumers from being taken advantage of by the health insurance and prescription drug industries. In particular, he is focused on making sure the new federal health care law is implemented well here in California.  

In the fall of 2010 Austin was also a campus organizer for CALPIRG’s successful “No on Prop 23” field campaign; defeating the oil industry's attempt to repeal California’s landmark clean air and clean energy legislation. Austin graduated from Transylvania University in 2008 and completed a Master in International Development at the University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public and International Affairs in 2010.
